The present invention relates to a method of representing information on a three-dimensional user interface having multiple portals, in which data is associated with each of the portals. A symbolic marker is associated with each of the portals according to a pre-specified scheme, and displayed in the respective portals. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the symbolic marker is a colored marker. By color-coding the portals, data associated with the portals can be classified into a number of categories to provide the user with a summary of the data on the three-dimensional user interface at a high level of abstraction. The three-dimensional user interface may be adapted to update the colored markers more efficiently, and to display them using less computing resources than would be required if more memory-sensitive visual cues were displayed.
A method of representing information on a three-dimensional user interface, said three-dimensional user interface comprising a plurality of portals, said method comprising the steps of:
A user interface for a computing device, said user interface comprising a graphic representation of a plurality of portals arranged in a three-dimensional space, said user interface comprising a module for displaying symbolic markers in said plurality of portals, wherein said module is programmed to execute the following steps:
A module for displaying symbolic markers in a plurality of portals of a user interface, said user interface comprising a graphic representation of a plurality of portals arranged in a three-dimensional space, wherein said module is programmed to execute the following steps:
